Concerned citizens flock at the Globe Prepaid On The
Go caravan booth in Market!Market! to give donations for typhoon victims

Globe Telecom
through its Bangon Pinoy (#BangonPinoy) program has pledged P15 million to help
community reconstruction activities of Gawad Kalinga (GK) in the typhoon-devastated
provinces even as the company holds mobile caravans to encourage donations for disaster
relief efforts.

The amount will be used
primarily to build houses in GK Rotary Village in Brgy. Tambulilid, Ormoc,
Leyte for the benefit of 100 families while part of the funds will be set aside
for livelihood support to the residents.

The institutional grant for GK
was pulled together by Tattoo, Globe Telecom’s mobile and home broadband brand.
A significant portion of the P15 million will come from the sale profits of Tattoo
Prepaid Mobile WiFi from now until yearend and the 100 % profit donation from
the plans sold by Tattoo Home Broadband in November and December 2013.

In addition, Tattoo will give 5,000 units of various Tattoo
Prepaid Mobile Wifi and stick devices to be disseminated to the typhoon
victims.

Gilbert Simpao, Head of Globe Broadband, said: "Apart from
providing reliable connectivity, Tattoo would also want to extend all our
resources to assist those who are most in need. And with majority of the families
in badly hit areas losing their homes, Tattoo chose to focus on rebuilding and
giving back sustainable life to families starting with Brgy. Tambulilid."

At the same time, the Enterprise Group of Globe Business provided WiFi
connectivity to the GK Command Center in FTI Complex in Taguig City to enable
fast coordination with the organization’s various partners in different parts
of the country. GK uses the internet
service to perform webcasts via Ustream and to send real time updates of their
activities. With GK relief operations in full swing this week, the business ICT
arm of Globe Telecom will be increasing the bandwidth to 10 MBPS.

Meanwhile, Globe rolls out its Globe Prepaid On the Go caravan to
raise subscribers’ awareness on various ways to help the typhoon victims. Through the caravans which started at
Market!Market! in Taguig City and Abreeza Mall in Davao City last November 16
to 17, Globe subscribers may donate via
any of five options:

1. With every peso
loaded in the Globe Prepaid On the Go Caravan, Globe Prepaid will match it with
the same amount of donation for typhoon Yolanda victims. ​

2. Through SMS. Text
RED<space>AMOUNT to 2899 (Globe).
Amount can be any of the following denominations - 5, 25, 100, 300, 500
or 1000.

3. Donation of old
phones to be given to subscribers in affected areas.

4. Redemption of Globe
Rewards points in 5, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 denominations. Text DONATE<space>YOLANDA<amount>

The Globe Prepaid On the Go caravan will also be held on November 23
and 24 at the Activity Center of The District mall in Imus, Cavite; November 30
and December 1 at the Promenade of Harbour Point in Olongapo City, Zambales;
and December 14 and 15 at Marquee Mall in Angeles City, Pampanga.

Globe Bangon Pinoy is an integrated program that allows communities
devastated by the recent calamity to benefit from relief operations, free call
and text services, network restoration, and a series of community-rebuilding
activities. It was first introduced by Globe in 2009 after typhoons Ondoy and
Pepeng wreaked havoc in the country.
